Coldplay in my place

I returned home yesterday to find the air filled with Coldplay. Their mild-mannered music bounded around the hills of Crystal Palace like an echo in the Swiss Alps and, no matter what you did it was impossible to avoid it.

I noticed my courgettes and tomatoes had buckled a little under the strain - Mozart it clearly ain't – and after another round of earbashing tonight, I'm wondering if my peas might also take offence too.

So when people say Coldplay are totally inoffensive, they're wrong. Plants hate them (although it might simply have been the exceedingly hot day...).

Coldplay - the musical equivalent of courgettes: like to think they're all exotic and different but are really nothing more than bland watery mush which take a lot of work to make palatable, and even then are only bearable in small quantities.

I agree. I went to bed early as Barbara had gone out with friends. It was very hot so had the window open.Tried to read but gave up as all I could here was a pubescent squeal. By the way Mr Bean courgettes are my favoutite veg. You must be cooking them wrong :)

you're right about purple - i just had my first handful of purple podded peas, and they were delicious (although they were green). I don't think i've ever eaten peas so soon after picking before, and it was a real eye-opener
